天父关怀你-第199章
“因我们并不是与属血气的争战,乃是与那些执政的、掌权的、管辖这幽暗世界的,以及天空属灵气的恶魔争战”(弗6:12)。{OFC182.1}[1]

For our fight is not against any physical enemy: it is against organizations and powers that are spiritual. We are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world, and spiritual agents from the very headquarters of evil.Ephesians 6:12, Phillips.{OFC 208.1}[1]

圣经中很少看到赞扬人的话。即使那些最杰出的人物,圣经也没有多少篇幅记载他们的德行。这种现象不是没有目的,也不是没有教训的。因为人所具有的一切美德都是上帝的恩赐;他们的好行为乃是藉着上帝在基督里的恩典而实行出来的。他们的一切成就既都仰赖上帝,他们的人格或行为所得的荣耀自然就应该归给祂;而他们则不过是祂手中的工具而已。再者──根据圣经中历史中的一切教训——赞扬或抬举人乃是极危险的事;因为一个人若忘记自己必须完全依靠上帝,而想靠自己的力量,他是一定会跌倒的。……{OFC182.2}[2]

The Bible has little to say in praise of men. Little space is given to recounting the virtues of even the best men who have ever lived. This silence is not without purpose; it is not without a lesson. All the good qualities that men possess are the gift of God; their good deeds are performed by the grace of God through Christ. Since they owe all to God the glory of whatever they are or do belongs to Him alone; they are but instruments in His hands. More than this—as all the lessons of Bible history teach—it is a perilous thing to praise or exalt men; for if one comes to lose sight of his entire dependence on God, and to trust to his own strength, he is sure to fall....{OFC 208.2}[2]

我们靠自己的力量决不可能进行这种战争;凡足以使我们离弃上帝而自高自恃的事物,都是造成我们败亡的因素。圣经中的一贯宗旨是要教导人不可依靠人的力量,而要依靠上帝的能力。{OFC182.3}[3]
天父关怀你-第199章
It is impossible for us in our own strength to maintain the conflict; and whatever diverts the mind from God, whatever leads to self-exaltation or to self-dependence, is surely preparing the way for our overthrow. The tenor of the Bible is to inculcate distrust of human power and to encourage trust in divine power.{OFC 208.3}[3]
天父关怀你-第199章
那使大卫失足的就是这种自恃自大的精神。诌媚,权力和奢侈生活的蛊惑在他身上并不是没有影响的。与周围列国的交往也发挥了邪恶的作用。当时东方君王的风俗,只许君王“放火”,不许百姓“点灯”;君王不象百姓一样有约束自己的本分。这一切就减弱了大卫的感觉,使他看不出罪恶之非常可憎。于是他不再依靠耶和华的能力,反而依靠自己的智慧和力量了。{OFC182.4}[4]

It was the spirit of self-confidence and self-exaltation that prepared the way for David’s fall. Flattery and the subtle allurements of power and luxury were not without effect upon him. Intercourse with surrounding nations also exerted an influence for evil. According to the customs prevailing among Eastern rulers, crimes not to be tolerated in subjects were uncondemned in the king; the monarch was not under obligation to exercise the same self-restraint as the subject. All this tended to lessen David’s sense of the exceeding sinfulness of sin. And instead of relying in humility upon the power of Jehovah, he began to trust to his own wisdom and might.{OFC 208.4}[4]

撒但什么时候要能使人与唯一能力的泉源上帝隔离,他就要激起人肉体的情欲。这个仇敌的工作,不是突如其来的;也不是一来就使人感觉突兀可惊的;乃是暗地埋伏着要对正义的堡垒进行破坏。{OFC182.5}[5]
天父关怀你-第199章
As soon as Satan can separate the soul from God, the only Source of strength, he will seek to arouse the unholy desires of man’s carnal nature. The work of the enemy is not abrupt; it is not, at the outset, sudden and startling; it is a secret undermining of the strongholds of principle.15{OFC 208.5}[5]
